So you don't carry a mobile phone, never use debit or creditcards, avoid areas with CC cameras... Otherwise, there's data that can be used to locate you (albeit with everything but the mobile phone with less than stellar granularity) everywhere already... Done properly (for example by encrypting with keys only known by the child device and the parent device), this won't expose any sensitive information to anyone but the right people (you, your spouse, an older sibling, a nanny/babysitter). Like any tool, it has its dangers, it has to be built properly, and used properly.

Try asking the US Air Force how that works out for them (rather well, actually), as they've been using it in fighter planes for decades now.

Yes, but aren't those HUDs at about arm's length, on top of the console? Instead of less than an inch from your cornea?

I think the most valuable thing to do with this asteroid would be to cut it up into chunks and sell it to spacegeeks for a ridiculous amount of money per kg...

and the fact that it's more like hitting any of a dozen cockroaches with a million needles...

Not having read TFA and going purely by the quote in the parent, I would assume that the key is random ("chooses a random shared encryption key") but the port is not ("begins listening on a UDP port").

they don't have to leave a 100 mile radius from their home town, as long as they live near enough the airstrip where this thing takes off ;)

Watch it be a 52 character password, while the police spend some septillion years trying a 50 char password...

Most likely because of reported internet activity. From TFA:

Oliver Drage, 19, of Liverpool, was arrested in May 2009 by police tackling child sexual exploitation.

This means most likely that his ISP, or some target website, caught him down/uploading unsavory things, and need data on his PC to convict him. He probably encrypted the whole disk, and gets a password prompt upon starting his PC, so that's how they know there's something to be decrypted.

any earphones will do, usually, cause AM/FM is a rather forgiving in antenna requirements

Just use a simple algorithm based on the site's domain, that you can do in your head if you need to. Add some letters (letters 1, 3, and 6 for example) from the domain at fixed spots in your password, and ROTn them.

with $PRJ_ROOT/data/made_up being the biggest one? ;)

if you have issues with your partner, you should discuss them together or decide to leave on your own, not go around their back and cheat on them...

a) That was a demo model, not a production model.
b) It's a bad idea to move anything that has a spinning disc in it, from harddisks, to dvd-players, whatever.
c) Why would you need to move your console while it's running anyway?
